KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2020
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
KTM 990 Duke 2024
In a direct comparison, the KTM 990 Duke is the more sensible choice, without feeling sensible or even boring. Its 123 Horsepower twin-cylinder engine delivers the same powerful grunt from low revs as the R, runs smoothly and is hardly any less fun on country roads. The softer WP suspension also offers sufficient support for a very sporty pace, whilst remaining slightly more accessible in everyday use and on longer journeys. For most riders, the standard Duke is perfectly adequate. It’s only during very hard braking manoeuvres, at high cornering speeds or with regular track use that it reaches its limits sooner than the R. Those who can do without the more modern touchscreen get a powerful, versatile naked bike with surprisingly good long-distance capabilities.
